Vision Now Breast Cancer Awareness Month
In this heartfelt October episode of Listen Lakeland, host Tiffany Van Wieren spotlights Breast Cancer Awareness Month by welcoming three incredible guests whose work and experiences are making a difference in Lakeland and beyond. Joining the conversation are Dr. Elisabeth Dupont, breast surgeon at Watson Clinic; Massiel Gilpin, registered dietitian and diabetes educator at Watson Clinic; and Cathy Angel, a 10-year breast cancer survivor and founder of Boxed by An Angel, a nonprofit providing personalized care packages to women undergoing treatment.
Together, they explore the importance of early detection, the emotional and financial challenges patients face, and the power of nutrition, movement, and community support in healing and survivorship. With powerful personal stories, practical advice, and heartfelt encouragement, this episode is a tribute to the strength and resilience of those impacted by breast cancer—and a call to action for all who want to help.
